J, if you're talking about the vaporesso thing at the header this morning, I just clicked the x at the top right corner of it to close it. I use an ad blocker too, so don't see any others.
So ECF finally became like every other industry on the market running ads on the forum pages. Sad day for me. But I do have other forums I go on that have no ads so I guess ECF will be seeing less of me and more of their ads.
I love you all.
Wow, I didn't even notice it, Stud! Why is that (becoming) a deal breaker for you?
the ECF ads I don't mind at all as I kinda like having ECF to come to. It takes $ to keep this place running.
Because this is the point where money becomes more important than people. Plus it will only grow from here. It's not much different from spam. That's the beauty of this graffics site I go on. It was set up where the pros and those starting out come together for help and to share. One of the rules are no ads.
Oh well.
I see it a bit differently. I don't KNOW that ECF is going in this direction, but it would make sense if they do. As vendors slowly (or swiftly) leave the scene, there is no more monetary support for ECF. The forum needs to have that support to stay in business. So if it's Chinese vendors who are being advertised at the top of the page, that's absolutely fine by me.
I'm sorry it isn't for you, and MORE sorry to think that I would not have the pleasure of your company here.![]()

Thank you, DPL. Babysitting, not me forte.![]()
If they have decided to spam us it's for money which means what I have to say is a moot point.Perhaps talk to staff, J5, and find out precisely what is happening and why, before you make a departure. I think it would be worth it.
